Hip-hop is turning 50 this year! So, for Black History Month, MSNBC's Into America is presenting “Street Disciples: Politics, Power, and the Rise of Hip-Hop.” Host Trymaine Lee is looking back on the political conditions and policies that have inspired half a century of hip-hop and how over time, hip-hop began to shape America.
On part one & part two of Street Disciples, Trymaine is joined by our very own Dr. Tricia Rose. Other notable figures joining Tricia in this limited podcast series are Melle Mel of the Furious Five, fashion designer Dapper Dan, Kool DJ Red Alert, DJ Grandwizzard Theodore, historian Mark Anthony Neal, graffiti artist Cey Adams, journalist Davey D and hip-hop activist Harry Allen.
